It looks like this timeout should be increased at least on avocet (which
tests CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS).

Just after upgrading, it failed on REL_13_STABLE, REL_12_STABLE (I think
other branches to follow) with timeouts:

https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=avocet&dt=2024-11-22%2020%3A11%3A49

(On previous runs, this animal used buildfarm client REL_16.)
